ObjectUtils.coalesce -------------------- Key: LANG-358 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-358 Project: Commons Lang Issue Type: New Feature Affects Versions: LangTwo 1.0 Reporter: Jörg Gottschling Priority: Minor
I like to see the coalesce-function from SQL implemented in ObjectUtils. Something like this: <T> T ObjectUtils.coalesce(T... t) The first object, which is not null will be returned. I think it's simple. Perhaps there should be overloading methods with fixed parameter sizes. Following the jdk this seems to a little faster: <T> T ObjectUtils.coalesce(T t1, T t2) <T> T ObjectUtils.coalesce(T t1, T t2, T t3) ... I would provide it, including tests, if you like. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
